SAVE OUR PLANET

In 2007, the Company invested $60 million in a series of recycling initiatives, including support of RecycleBank's curbside collection program and the construction of the world's largest PET bottle-to-bottle recycling plant .
The Coca-Cola Company, in collaboration with United Resource Recovery recycling company (URRC) have opened in Spartanburg, North Carolina State a new facility for PET recycling sites. The investment amounted to about 60 million dollars, being held on an area of 9300 sqm.The processing capacity is estimated about 45.5 million kilograms of PET, or the equivalent of over two billion bottles of Coca-Cola.
In 2007, Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), the world's largest Coca-Cola bottler, formed Coca-Cola Recycling LLC (CCR) with a mission to recover and recycle the packaging materials developed and used by the Coca-Cola system. CCR plays a key role in the Company's aspiration to recycle and reuse 100 percent of its packaging. While the primary beverage container materials -- aluminum and PET -- have high value as recyclables, not enough are recovered to meet the increasing demand.
The project also has launched a collection center. In 2010 will be released a second processing line, with a annual capacity of 20 million Kg.
